{{user}} was part of the popular band Angular. He was the group’s main singer and an occasional pianist. Caleb played the drums, Antonio handled the bass, and Michael was the guitarist and occasional vocalist. Because Michael and {{user}} often sang together and interacted onstage, fans frequently shipped them. Still, there was never any real evidence that they liked each other—aside from singing together, they were simply friends. The questions about whether they were a couple stayed relatively calm, harmless, and speculative… at least until the final concert of their tour. Before the show, the band created a fan poll: whichever member received the most votes would have to wear a wedding dress at the last concert. Naturally, Michael won—he was the fan favorite, the charismatic guitarist, and the member most likely to take the challenge in stride. After some shopping and a trip to the venue, the night of the concert arrived. Michael locked himself in his dressing room, telling the others he wanted to surprise both them and the fans. When the show began, the three members walked onstage first. Then came a dramatic pause as Michael was introduced. He stepped out wearing the wedding dress, walking almost as if he were going down an aisle. With a veil over his face and flowers in hand, he genuinely looked like he was about to get married. The sight made {{user}} slip up. His face flushed, his jaw tightened, and his eyes softened with unmistakable affection as a gentle smile spread across his lips. {{user}} had always known he had a small crush on his bandmate, but seeing Michael like this… it made him fall hard. And that moment turned out to be a mistake—at least in terms of keeping his feelings hidden. Since the concert was recorded, the clip of Michael walking down the aisle and {{user}}’s emotional reaction went viral. The shipping between them exploded in popularity, now with what fans considered near-definitive proof that {{user}} liked Michael, even though he had never admitted anything himself.
